Happy New Year! I am looking forward to a successful and prosperous 2016 here at St. Dominic Village. I want to thank all of our donors that so generously gave to us during 2015, and especially during our End of Year Campaign to help renovate Warren Chapel. Warren Chapel is truly the heart of our community and it deserves a much needed facelift. Check back in the months to come to see what we were able to do with the funds that were raised! I also want to extend a special “Thank You” to all of our Patron Corps members. These are individuals who at a minimum donate $1,000.00 annually to St. Dominic Village. Roger and Carole Sahni were our Patron Corp Chairs last year and I am looking forward to another successful year under their leadership. These are the funds that allow St. Dominic Village to do some amazing things that we otherwise could not do. With our new year, St. Dominic Village will see much growth and changes on campus. While it is of course important to honor and respect all of the rich history that makes St. Dominic Village truly unique, it is exciting to see change in our community. Two examples of this change are the rebranding of our Mission Statement and Core Values. The Board of Directors, staff and a group of Residents dedicated time to meet and share with HandBuilt Brands Advertising Agency to help us streamline and refresh our Mission Statement and Core Values. During these meetings we discussed what makes St. Dominic Village unique and what our residents love about living here. Our Mission embodies what we as a communi- ty strive to do each and every day, that is “Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”. Our Core Values have been updated to Love, Quality Care, Individuality and Christ-Like. As you read through the newsletter you will see the new Core Values and how they are surrounded by the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Both of these items will be something that you will see when on campus, and we believe that it helps keep us focused on the Mission and Ministry of St Dominic Village. The Board of Directors, along with staff, are working on putting the five year Strategic Plan into effect. The Board spent the last year focusing on the current state of SDV and where we, along with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, want it to go. Through our committees, we are excited about some of the plans that we are putting into place, and I’m excited to keep you updated as some of our plans become a reality. My door is always open and I love to hear from our residents, families and staff so please stop by and see me anytime.

St. Dominic Village kicks off the New Year with a new Mission Statement and Core Values!

“Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”

The Mission Statement and Core Values of an organization are of significant importance. They not only define your organization but more importantly they tell the community what it is that you do. Our previous Mission Statement and Core Values were very long and were not something that could be remembered or recited by our residents and staff.

Over the last several months St. Dominic Village, worked with Hand Built Brands (a Marketing Consultancy), to help us redefine and streamline both our Mission and Core Values. This company met with the Board of Directors, staff and a group of residents to really get a feel for St. Dominic Village and what it is that we do and how best to represent this to the community.

After much thought and exchanging of ideas and concepts, what was finally agreed upon is what you see here;our mission is now, “Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”. It is a statement that we have been using for years, and truly is at the heart of what we do.

Our new Core Values are now Love, Quality Care, Individuality and Christ Like. These are the qualities that we as an organization strive for our employees to show our residents. These Core Values are surrounded by the fruits of the Holy Spirit. I hope these speak to you as they did to everyone who was involved in the rebranding process. We are truly moving in the right direction and both our new Mission Statement and Core Values help lead us each and everyday.

The Origins of the Dominican Orderby: Sr. Carol Mayes, O.P. St. Dominic Village, Board Member

It is often said that St. Dominic did not “found” an order as much as he “befriended” an order. This was considered true because the first Dominicans were the women who were followers of Dominic and lived a cloistered life at Prouille, France. After gathering the women, men became his followers and the Dominican Order continued to grow.

All Dominicans are part of the Order of Preachers. That is why Dominicans identify themselves with the initials “O.P.” after their names. Therefore, all Dominicans are called to preach God’s word, but do so in different ways.

Great men and women have joined the Dominicans over the years.

St. Catherine, a lay woman, was considered a “mystic in the marketplace”. She spent her life caring for others and in deep prayer. She also was in communication with several popes and urged Pope Gregory XI to return to Rome from Avignon and bring unity back to the church. She preached with her good works and with her letter writing.

St. Fra Angelico was a magnificent artist who preached with his painting.

St. Martin de Porres, another Dominican, was a lay brother who spent his life caring for the poor. He preached with his kindness and care for the less fortunate.

Though Dominic often spent all night in prayer and frequently wept for the pain of the world, he was very accepting of others and never demanded strict observance of rules. The Dominicans celebrated their 800 Year Jubilee this year on November 7th 2015. It is a special time to thank God for the gift of Dominic and his vision.

On Wednesday, November 11, 2015, as we do every year, we recognized and paid homage to our men and women who have served and/or currently serve in the military.

We welcomed special guests, recited songs and poems of patriotism and enjoyed fellowship and food.

We are home to several men and women who have served in the armed services. We humbly thank you for your service.

We love seeing our residents have a good time and this past Halloween, our residents enjoyed themselves thoroughly. We had music, food, fun and a costume contest... a perfect way to kick off the fall season!

Physician Spotlightby Meg Pohodich, MBA, Director of Marketing and Admissions

Nursing Station 1 has completed its initial phase of the new face lift, and we are excited about the results. Work on Station 1 kicked off on December 7th and was completed by December 20th.

The new nursing station will certainly make our daily functions more efficient and convenient. New computers have been installed and the medication and treatment rooms were also renovated during the process.

Nursing Station 1 Gets Revamped!

Dr. Julia Reyser joined the St. Dominic Village family in 2005 and has gone above and beyond in providing outstanding resident care. She received her MD from Azerbaijan Medical University, completed her residency at University of Texas Health and Science Center and her fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She has a clinic at Quentin Mease Hospital and is also the Assistant Professor for geriatric medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. She is board certified in family medicine as well as geriat-rics. Our residents love her as she is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and she is fluent in Russian. She reminds us that “age is only a number” and to “keep an active life”!

Dr. Reyser has a full plate as she sees many residents in the Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, as well as residents in Independent Living and Assisted Living! If you would like to meet with Dr. Reyser, please contact our admissions coordinators:

The Seasons of Lent and Easter

The Stations of the Cross is a Lenten devotion that offers witness to Jesus’ Passion and Death. At each station we use our senses and our imagination to reflect prayerfully upon Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection and reflect on Christ’s love for us. It is a powerful way to contemplate, and enter into, the mystery of Jesus’ gift of himself to us.

From the earliest of days, followers of Jesus told the story of his passion, death and resurrection. When pilgrims came to see Jerusalem, they were anxious to see the sites where Jesus was. These sites become important holy connections with Jesus. Eventually, following in the footsteps of the Lord, along the way of the cross, became a part of the pilgrimage visit. The stations, as we know them today, came about when it was no longer easy or even possible to visit the holy sites. In the 1500’s, villages all over Europe started creating “replicas” of the way of the cross, with small shrines commemorating the places along the route in Jerusalem. Eventually, these shrines became the set of 14 stations we now know and they have been placed in almost every Catholic Church in the world.

Christmas at the VillageWe love the holidays here at St. Dominic Village. Christmas was celebrated in a big way around the Village. Our two Open Houses were a big success with lots of family, friends and visitors enjoying food, fun and fellowship with our residents. The Ambassadors, a live band, performed at both parties held on December 10th and December 14th. Residents and guests enjoyed a medley of classic oldie but goodies, Christmas tunes and big band jazz tunes of the 1940’s.

The following week our residents were surprised by a visit from Old St. Nick himself. He visited with each resident and brought presents for all.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Celebration at St. Dominic VillageOn December 11th, St. Dominic Village and the St. Dominic Chancery joined to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Residents and staff gathered in the Charlotte Hall Social Area to enjoy a festive, cermonial dance, as well as food and fellowship in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
